    Pacific Championship Week 4 Discussion

    Terrible team selections in terms of positioning; also the Aussies are not as keen on this series compared to the island nations and NZ IMO. I don't blame them, its a random series that was put on. I know the saying "any time you put on the green and gold bla bla" but that does just not...

    POST GAME 2023 NRL Grand Final - Penrith vs Brisbane

    The play was on but we definitely needed to calm our farm. It was getting erratic a couple of passes before too… so just needed to take the tackle for the next play.

    OFFICIAL 2024 Roster

    Truth However, I think just mentally... I feel like if we are taking the Panthers again in the GF in 24... and lets say we are up by 10 with 20 to go. Panthers players are thinking "Remember what happened last year" ... they will just have that 1% edge. Only if its 2024... 2025 and beyong...

    Corey Oates - What to do?

    Perfect back up option IMO It's good, we will need him during origin periods, covering niggling injuries, etc. Knock on wood, but he will also be a great backup option if one of our outside backs goes down with a lengthy injury. (IMO, at a minimum we need walsh/staggs/cobbo in the GF...

    Short Kickoffs and Drop-Outs

    If you see the footage / photo; - you can tell Mitch was anticipating that EXACT play, he sensed Herbie might tap it back - Walsh, not sure what he was doing... I think he just lost focus - No idea why Herbie didn't just catch the ball, he was hardly under any pressure coulda / woulda / shoulda

    POST GAME 2023 NRL Grand Final - Penrith vs Brisbane

    Don't 100% agree but I feel ya... I'm taking the loss pretty bad... having my ups and downs. It's just been a LOOOOOONG time ya know? I think carving up won't be a problem but we have too many errors in us, we were terrible with our handling errors in the GF. Im OK with errors while making...

    OFFICIAL 2024 Roster

    I agree We are a much better team now than that era. 100% I think it is more the many variable factors that can play HUGE parts: - Do we get 'lucky' with injuries again? - Do we come 1/2 again and win finals week 1 again? - Do we come 3rd/4th this time and lose week 1? - If we get to the...

    2024 pre-season discussion: Pre-season Premiers

    Disagree there, team comes first. You pick the best 17 for the game. Oates is Bronco for life, winning the GF would have still been a huge moment for him as a Bronco. So it definitely would still have been right. Perhaps a bit of a shame but that is why you have to NAIL these GFs. 2015 and...

    NEWS 2023 Broncos Presentation Ball

    I thought Walsh too - he was our best 'overall' player. Haas is legendary - but he has to go out and do a prop's job. Considering our last 3-4 seasons, he deserved it as we were shocking on the field. Walsh has to go out there and influence the result and win games... it has been a LONG time...

    Payne Haas hip drop - carry over points for 2024 - how does it all work?

    I hate this whole 'hip drop' tackle hysteria that has been going on in the NRL over the last couple of years. The game is going that fast... I don't understand what they expect the defense to do... anyway; I know opinions are divided on it so I don't want to start a raging debate on it or...

    Short Kickoffs and Drop-Outs

    Yep At the end of the day, this is essentially why I don't like this play... I just feel like its a "desperate" play. Perhaps usable at 0-0 , sometime in the first half, etc. Definitely don't see a huge advantage of it late in the second half when the game is on the line. As I mentioned...

    Corey Oates - What to do?

    I love Oatsey, and really heartbroken for him for 2015... he should have a ring. Unfortunately that is life and that is footy. I'm really glad he had Origin 2022 game 3... fond memory for his latter half of his career. Overall, I agree with the above: I wouldn't sugar coat it but I would...

    Short Kickoffs and Drop-Outs

    Im not a fan of the short drop out either, however I believe a variation of it may work. 1. Should be used for the "hail mary" (i.e. game is absolutely almost over, and you just need a "football god" moment) 2. It should be the low punt drop out straight to a front rower so they might fumble...

    Your History with Broncos Grand Finals

    Yeh good to see some of the OG ppl are still here! It’s fantastic I don’t think I recovered from post 2015 to be honest, we all know what happened after that… Horrific final in 2016 Another melb demolition in 2017 and 2018-2021, basically felt like a tigers supporter 🤣 Still watched 90% of...

    Your History with Broncos Grand Finals

    Classic! I had a very similar experience, I was overseas at the time and couldn't watch it live, so I had ignored my phone all day, jumped on the PC to watch it and the bloody WINDOWS OS news feed thumbnail had JT in the crowd smiling after the game... I quickly reacted however I deep down I...
